Wouldn't they ? How many people on this board would actually buy a brand new RS ???
And I don't mean "yes, I'd like to, but won't because I can't afford it"

It's all about economics and money I am afraid, if there isn't a market for the cars, Ford simply won't make them.
The RS focus was made in small numbers, and they sold them all, had Ford made twice as many, they probably would have some still sat waiting to be sold

We see it on this board all the time when someone sells a car for £6K, loads of people would love to buy, but can't afford them, let alone insurance and running costs, so they don't sell.
What chances do ford have with £25-£30K cars

Sorry to sound negative, but this is the real world we live in
